Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is the technical field of seats for vehicles, and in particular for armoured vehicles.
- the downward course of the seating part can be limited by objects arranged below the seating part and forming an obstacle, such as material carried or the feet of another passenger, which compromises the efficiency of the calibrated stops.
- the seat includes a second stop impeding the fold-back movement of the panels, the second stop being releasable upon impact to allow the fold-back movement.
- the seat includes restoring means for a front panel of the two panels, the restoring means adapted to maintain the front panel substantially horizontal.
- the restoring means includes a deformable structure.
- the deformable structure includes a textile belt comprising several folds connected by a tear-calibrated seam.
- the axis between both adjacent panels of the seating part includes a torsion bar.
- a front panel has a length L lower than or equal to a third of a depth P of the seating part.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a seat according to the invention in a normal use position.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of a seat according to the invention in a lowered position following an impact.
- FIG. 3 is a side view of a seat according to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the seat being in a lowered position following an impact.
- a seat 1 is provided within the passenger compartment of an armoured vehicle (vehicle and passenger compartment not shown) and is attached to a vertical wall 100 of the passenger compartment.
- the seat 1 includes a back rest 2 and a seating part 3 adapted to pivot with respect to each other via a transverse pivot link 4 .
- the seating part 3 can thus be lifted to be positioned along the back rest 2 , thereby limiting the bulk volume of the seat when not in use.
- the seating part 3 is lowered into a substantially horizontal position.
- the downward course of the lowering movement of the seating part by pivoting is limited by a first stop 5 , interfering with a first shoulder 20 a , of a support 20 of the seating part attached to the seat 1 .
- the lowering of the front panel 7 is limited by a retainer 7 b abutting below the adjacent rear panel 6 .
- the fold-back of the front panel 7 towards the rear panel 6 could be prevented by a second stop 9 interfering with a second shoulder 9 a .
- the seating part 3 is arranged at a distance from the floor 101 of the vehicle. For illustration of the operating principle of the invention, objects 10 occupy the space between the seating part 3 and the floor 101 .
- the seat 1 is shown in the configuration obtained after a strong impact is applied under the floor, namely a mine type impact.
- the mass represented by a passenger of the seat (passenger not shown) exerted, under the effect of the impact, a vertical stress such that the first stop 5 collapsed.
- the front panel 7 of the seating part 3 is caused to hit the objects 10 arranged below the seating part 3 . In some cases not shown, it can be caused to hit the floor 101 of the vehicle.
- the front panel 7 is folded back towards the rear panel 6 by rotating about the axis 8 .
- pivot link 4 can also have an elastically or plastically deformable component such as a torsion bar to optimize the energy absorption.
- the stops 5 and 9 can have pins 5 calibrated to the shear failure.
- the one skilled in the art can also use elastically or plastically deformable components such as, for example, ball thrusts or solutions comparable to those exposed in the French patent FR2932428. The interest of such means is to absorb a part of the energy of the mine impact.
- the seating part 3 can have panels with different sizes, for example the front panel 7 could have a length L representing up to a third of the depth P of the seating part.
